Michael Moore was the author of numerous classic works on the herbal plants of the West and Southwest, including Medicinal Plants of the Desert and Canyon West (MNMP), the companion guide to Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West, as well as a host of clinical herb manuals, including Herbal Materia Medica, now in its fifth edition. Michael Moore opened his first herb store in Encino, California, in 1974, now Herbs Etc. of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and was the founder and director of Southwest School of Botanical Medicine in Bisbee, Arizona.The web site for this material is at:http://www.swsbm.comPlease keep this a elib exclusive, thanks.Contributors: Ratio FreeElite/VIP:  4 weeksPower Users (PU): 8 weeksUsers: Upgrade to PU or contributeThe group buy is open at:, Mazen
